Tofutei (Hotel Gajoen Tokyo)

Tofutei’s classical Japanese furnishings and decor set the tone for a traditional kaiseki banquet. There are nine dining rooms, each decorated with sparse, minimalist touches, like hanging ink paintings and sliding paper doors, to lend every meal a serene atmosphere. A Japanese garden wraps around the restaurant, with a stream gently rippling through it, and at night it shines from the glow of paper lanterns. Perfect for special occasions, Tofutei specializes in seasonal Japanese cuisine made with Japanese ingredients that are at their peak freshness and ripeness. There are a variety of kaiseki meal plans with varying numbers of courses and every plate is elegantly presented; just as easy on the eyes as it is on the palate. Expect umami soups, delicate slices of sashimi, tender grilled fish, and colorful seasonal vegetables, all arranged in a manner that evokes the current season.
